Not available for current versions of Android. On v 14 and I can’t install it.

Sounds like Homebox would fit your purposes.

Thanks, digital signage is a helpful term. I’ll explore that!

The desire to have it internet connected comes from my wanting to leave notes on the screen. Currently, the major cause of anxiety/stress for the family remember is not remembering when we had last interacted. Leaving a kind of “journal” of our most recent interaction by phone/in person/etc may be helpful for reducing that anxiety.

Thanks, I did look in to it and had the same thoughts you raised.

Similar to atzanteol’s reply, I appreciate the thoughtfulness you put in to this. Our use case is luckily not so severe as needing reminders for important tasks (medication, eating, etc)… yet. A dumb clock would almost meet our needs, save for the desire to leave notes about our interactions (remembering when we last talked/saw each other is the major stressor).

I appreciate the thoughtfulness. I’m not dead set on self hosting - I figured that the relatively simple functionality might already exist in some tools. The client side of the solution would involve no interaction which is why I considered the self hosting route. If the server goes down, as long is it continues to display the time/date/last know notes/messages without any intervention then it would meet our needs. A dashboard tool that runs some elements independently and queries a server for updates on occasion.

I did find MagicMirror, which looks like it could be set up with an SBC connected to a monitor. I haven’t yet had time to dig in to its workings to see if would meet the offline/online requirements.

I also found calendarclock.app which, while not self hosted, is purpose built for this scenario and would allow the recycling of existing hardware.

That’s an interesting thought. Thank you, I’ll toy around with that.

I believe this is old information and any restrictions around serving none HTML content has been removed from their terms of service related to cloud flare tunnels.

No one is asking the question because the option is there.

I’m Immich, find a file that has an empty cloud icon (indicates a file on the server and not on your phone). The top bar shows 4 icons: heart, cloud with a down arrow inside it, plus sign, and info circle.

Click the cloud with the down arrow inside it to sync to your device.

Alternatively, the bottom bar also has your OS share button which offers another multitude of ways to download and send the photo.

I understand that Kavita only offers reading through a web interface, so it would make sense that reading progress is synchronized since you are always reading directly from the server.

What I’m referring to is a client and server that synchronizes offline reading progress (When a connection can be made), especially one that works on an e-reader device.

Bouncing off of this, what e-book server exists that a clients sync progress back to the server (i.e. Amazon’s whispersync)?

I primarily read on one device, but occasionally I pull up my phone when I don’t have my e-reader and it’s really handy to have to progress always up to date.

I believe it is able to do so on Windows because it uses the same system that OneDrive does, and is baked in to the OS. Not sure what the excuses are on MacOS and Linux.

But if you’re using Dolphin or Nautilus on Linux, does setting up a WebDAV network location not meet your needs?

It acts as a virtual file system on Windows.

Some things that stand out to me:

1. You’re using your router’s default DNS as the upstream server. Try specifying an upstream DNS in the settings instead.

2. Try Pihole + Unbound

3. Could you provide an anonymized example of how you set up the local DNS entry? E.g. Domain: sub.domain.com IP: 192.168.X.Y

I used to use Loom, and I love the idea of having it self hosted. I read the the git page and have a simple question (I’m not a very advanced user): How does this work?

Loom runs as a desktop client (Windows in my case) and then there is the server side software that handles serving the videos to others. From what I can tell there is no local client.

Do you run Foundry in Docker? Where does Foundry not play nice?

I’ve run Foundry + CloudFlared in Docker with 0 issues for some time.

What is/was it?

Orb is a project I’ve been meaning to check out. It may meet your needs.

It’s not yet in Docker, however. See the top comments from a couple months back: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/146og6f/orb_v021_has_been_released/
